Deep dives
Exploit Trends in Microsoft Patch Tuesday
Microsoft's recent Patch Tuesday addressed over 50 vulnerabilities, with six already being exploited. Of these, many relate to file system issues involving NTFS and a FAT vulnerability, which could lead to remote code execution. The typical exploitation method requires a victim to open a corrupt VHD file, or an attacker with remote access can mount it. These vulnerabilities are considered important rather than critical due to their complexity and the prerequisites needed to exploit them.
